Strengths
- “Pupils feel safe and secure at school.”
- “They know that staff are on their side and will support them kindly and sensitively.”
- “The school is highly successful at integrating pupils, not only back into education, but into the school community.”
To improve
- “In some subjects, there is less clarity about how learning will build over time.”
- “Teachers sometimes introduce complex tasks to pupils without ensuring that pupils have the knowledge and understanding required to be successful.”
- “This leads to pupils becoming overly reliant on adults and feeling unable to tackle learning with confidence.”
